About This Home

As of May 2025

A fantastic mix of old style charm and the new desire of an open floor plan mean that this home is both affordable and attractive. At nearly half an acre the giant corner lot that's located only two blocks from the North end shopping and restaurant district allows for walkability to everything you possibly need. Three bedrooms and one and a half baths plus living, family, and dining rooms as well as a cute little enclosed porch on the back. You will enjoy not having any neighbors super close and love the life you will have with the comfortability of being able to see nearly all of the main floor from one location. The two car garage is convenient yet only takes up a small portion of the huge yard that is perfect for watching the neighborhood littles or sipping your favorite drink from either the enclosed or the open porches.
